Theater Camp (2023)
3/10
Rough
26 January 2023
The story is weak, which would be fine if the comedy was good. The comedy is weak, which could work if the story were good. As is, it's a painfully unfunny sit that's slightly elevated by a couple good performances.

The story - if you can say it has one - is about a theater camp's staff struggling after the owner goes into a coma, leaving her inept son in charge as a competing camp tries to take it over (with a representative played by the always-wonderful Patti Harrison). You can pretty much guess where the story goes from there.

Easily the worst mockumentary I've ever seen. It can't hold a candle to the movies Christopher Guest has made, or ones he's been involved in, or even more obscure ones like Take the Money and Run. The humor lacks any wit, creativity, depth, cleverness, insight, or anything beyond what any given seventh grade theater kid could come up with. Definitely one to skip.
